Turn your world upside down with a thrilling aerobatic ride. Strap on a parachute,
climb into out aerobatic glider with an experienced aerobatic pilot, and hold on tight
for the ride of your life. Pull G’s. Float in zero gravity. Loop-d-loop. Roll
wing-tip to wing-tip. Draw clover leafs in the sky. Pull straight up vertically into
a hammer-head stall, and then fall off into a vertical dive -- straight down. At 2
positive G’s, wing-overs are the most mellow maneuver on your aerobatic ride.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in a dog-fight? You can with an
aerobatic flight. Aerobatic maneuvers were invented to evade enemy pilots in aerial
combat and get into position to shoot them down. Our ASK-21 aerobatic glider has the
look and feel of a fighter jet. Wrap-around instrument panel. Bubble canopy that opens
much like the ones on fighter jets. Forget seat belts, you’ll be strapped into a
five-point harness. Our aerobatic glider is highly maneuverable. And our aerobatic pilots
are among the best anywhere.
Your flight is tailored to you. Your pilot can perform nonstop no-holds-barred aerobatics
or take a more gentle approach, performing one maneuver at a time to check your comfort
level before continuing.
The ASK-21 is a very strong and agile aerobatic glider. It is built to handle more G forces
than most of the fighter planes of World War II. But our pilots hold the G’s at a maximum
of 4 positive. At 4 positive G’s you will feel your body pushed down into the seat.
Try raising your hand and you find it’s not so easy at 4 G’s.
For the aerobatic ride, the glider pilot tows to between 4,000 and 5,000 feet before releasing
the towline. (Relax and enjoy the tow; the views are breath-taking.) This tow altitude allows
your aerobatic pilot to perform 7 to 10 minutes of thrilling maneuvers.
You have the option of adding a mini-lesson to your aerobatic flight. Choose this option and
after the aerobatic portion of your flight is completed, your pilot will give you an introductory
training flight. He or she will show you what each flight control does and then you get to fly the
glider.
